flooded trailers. They had little enough to begin with. Now they have nothing.

NM has taken some damage to roads and homes. Colorado has been devastated.

And it's flowing east.

I one of 6 counties in Colorado set to vote on whether to form a new State of North Colorado. Will this flood affect that vote and how much money will Weld County ask Colorado and the federal government to send their way to rebuild.

Regarding the great pictures, most were taken after the water had started to recede so one can only guess at how bad it was at high water. Also, that water will be an issue all of the way until it dumps into the Missouri River south of Omaha.
